I bought and own this game.  Its pretty awesome...has some of the best Music
Studio tunage ever heard on the GS.

>Sword of Sodan           (?) Discovery Software

SoS IIgs had 2 demos, one of which I'll post on c.b.a2 later so you can see
what might have been.  Theoretically this game was actually released for sale
briefly and then recalled due to programming errors, so its possible someone
has it.

>Dondra:A New Beginning   Microillusions
>Faery Tale Advendure     Microillusions

FTA (heh) was released, I'm pretty sure.  Don't know about Dondra.

>Spirit of Excalibur      Virgin Mastertronic

SoE was never officially released but the finished game was stolen by one of
the bigger pirate groups and released since Virgin was not going to sell it
themselves.

>Space Quest III          Sierra On-line

Dunno about SQIII, I'm pretty sure its SCI in which case it died because the
GS was 'too slow' for their bloated APW C ports.

>Quarterstaff             Infocom

No idea at all.  Anyone?

>Manhunter: San Fransisco Sierra On-line

I believe this goes with SQIII under "GS too slow".

>King of Chicago          Cinemaware

King of Chicago I know was released.  I believe SDI was also, but I'm not sure.

>Ancient Land of Y's      (?)

I've got this game.  Its from the programmers of Test Drive II, but it actually
loads and runs quickly and has some way-out stereo music.

>Marble Madness           Electronic Arts

This was released.  I have it also.

Let me add a few 'missing' games to the list.

Scooby-Doo      Cinemaware
Flintstones         "
(some others I'm sure)

And a few games which -should- have been done on the IIgs.  Several of these
are sequals to existing IIgs games.

Thexder: Firehawk         Sierra
Life and Death II         Software Toolworks
Deluxe Music Const. Set   Electronic Arts (not a game, but was announced with
                                           the GS :)
MasterTracks Pro+4        Passport Designs
Some CAD program          ????? (anyone remember?  I don't have most of my old
                          A+es, but the November '86 issue with the GS on the
                          cover was a goldmine of phantom software)
